The Klezmatics - Rhythm + Jews Revisited (2025) [Hi-Res]

The Klezmatics are announcing the re-issue of their influential 1991 album "Rhythm + Jews" under the title "Rhythm + Jews: Revisited." This seminal album, which put the band on the map with tracks like Fun Tashlikh and NY Psycho Freylekhs, had been out of print for years and was unavailable on modern platforms. The re-issue is a remastered version of the original recording, enhanced in sound quality, and will be released as an eco-friendly limited edition. It also features alternative versions of the tracks unearthed from recently discovered master files. This release is the first in a series of reissues celebrating the band's 40th anniversary, which will take place in late 2025 and early 2026. It is intended for both long-time aficionados, offering fresh details, and newcomers, introducing them to a significant piece of klezmer history. Klezmer music is important for the preservation of the Yiddish language and culture and for global music as a whole.
